This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 302: Lunar Dome... Vegetable Greenhouse

"Hiss, is this the new cabin?!"

"Surprised, this is too big!"

"It doesn't seem that big from the outside, or I don't know how big it is, but you can only know how big this thing is when you see the inside!"

"I feel that there are mainly early cabins for comparison, so this cabin looks bigger."

"Anyway, it feels like a big change. The cramped one-bedroom and one-living room has been replaced by a big villa. It looks so cool."

"Every time I see this kind of thing, I always sigh: the strength of Practical Technology Aerospace Corporation is too strong!"

"Yeah, even the Freedom Federation is working hard to study the lunar living quarters, and the practical technology has been upgraded to the second generation."

"Let's not talk about the situation on the side of the Freedom Federation. Up to now, the lunar module has been used to charge the number. The real lunar survival module has not been built yet. What's even more annoying is that the first flight of the starship launch system has been completed for so long. There is no second flight mission yet, and it just stops at the launch base."

"There is no way, the Freedom Federation does not have large-scale space facility construction tasks now, and if you want to fill the cargo bay of the starship with small tasks, it will take a long time, but if it is not full, it will be a pity for the 'gas money'. Parked at the base."

"Hey, so there must be a super construction task before the super rocket, otherwise the super rocket can only be thrown into the warehouse to accumulate dust."

"Actually, Emmalon is a super rocket only available in the super construction missions that existed before, but his idea is too outrageous. He wants to go to Mars to carry out large-scale construction, but the development of related technologies is too slow, so the technology that came out first can only be used forever. Waiting."

"So during this period of time, it is enough to focus on Fanxing and the Practical Science and Technology Space Center. This is the second phase of the construction of the Fanxing space station and the construction of the lunar outpost. There are always surprises."

The reason why people are so pleasantly surprised is that this new lunar cabin has given them too much surprise.

As the last astronaut stepped out of the airlock, the camera followed his movements to see the interior of the dome.

It can be seen that it is huge, not only because of its large size, but also with many partitions to clearly divide each partition.

The reason for doing this is not to make a large cabin, because if a meteorite hits here, the cabin will leak pressure and air, so that the overall price will not be reduced, but to ensure the normal operation of other cabins after closing a few cabin doors. , only the area of ​​the cabin that was hit was depressurized and air leaked.

Just like the watertight cabin of a ship, a leak will not sink the whole ship.

However, in order to show the "permeability" of the large cabin and prevent the astronauts from feeling as "crowded and narrow" as the previous cabin, a large number of large square portholes were used in the design of this dome cabin.

Especially as soon as you step out of the airlock, you will immediately see a large comprehensive maintenance area.

This comprehensive staging area can store more than 20 powered spacesuits, as well as lockers for spare spacesuits.

In addition to the storage area, there is an area for parts storage and simple maintenance.

There, mechanics on the team can perform simple repairs to the powered spacesuit.

Of course, if it is complicated, the mechanics in the team can do nothing but replace it with new ones, and then send the damaged ones back to Earth for repairs.

The maintenance area is the activity area after entering through a door, and there is a large porthole between the two. Astronauts can directly see the activity area and dining area behind from the maintenance area, and then see the opposite side through the porthole of the dining area. lunar landscape.

That's called "transparency"!
The astronauts took off their powered space suits in the maintenance area, and walked into the activity area wearing only the overalls in the cabin, feeling relaxed.

Even a little eager to try.

Because there are not only lunar bicycles, lunar treadmills, lunar stretchers and other exercise equipment prefixed with "Moon", but also a special pool table!

What would it be like to play pool on the low-gravity moon?
Not to mention the viewers watching the live broadcast on the earth, even a few "moon veterans" don't know.

Although the previous cabin was not too small, it was okay to live in, but its diameter was only a few meters, and after removing the space occupied by the installed equipment, the remaining space was just that little.

It's not easy for those spaces to allow them to be more flexible in activities, and it's great to add the folding function to double as a dining area, fitness area and video game area at the same time.

You can't play games that pay more attention to the space of movement. If you want to play a game with individuality, you have to move your body carefully, for fear of kicking a certain test box away.

It's different now. There is a special activity area, and a pool table is installed inside. Even this pool table can be manually pressed down to become part of the floor.

In this way, space is freed up, and you can play two-person body-sensing games with confidence.

In fact, the dining room can also be used as an activity room, because except the kitchen area is fixed, the tables and chairs are all folding tables and folding chairs placed separately.

Now they are stored in a package and stacked in a corner of the restaurant.

Then there are sleeping areas, toilets, bathing areas, storage areas and other partitions.

Although the dome cabin is not small, it cannot have the same luxury configuration as the rotating simulated gravity cabin and the future amusement city. It is still a separate sleeping cabin, but it is larger than the sleeping area of ​​the first phase of the starry space station.

But it's also very limited, so you can still only lie down.

If you want to live here with 20 people, you can only come here.

The reason why the early explorers were great was that the conditions were relatively difficult.

Fortunately, the dome can be found elsewhere.

The dome cabin has two floors. The first floor space is actually a cylindrical space, but it is flatter. Go up the stairs to the "second floor", and this is the real dome space.

Compared with the tight isolation of the "first floor", the dome space is relatively empty. It is really a large space, with only some shelves and tables.

Taking a closer look, there are soilless cultivation boxes of different sizes on the shelves and tables.

Seeing this, the audience immediately guessed what it was used for.

"Good guy, I thought this was some kind of magical place, it turned out to be a vegetable greenhouse!"

"Pfft, although...but...can you change the word, I can no longer look directly at the dome space."

"Hahaha, shit, what a talent!"

"Name the ghost!"

"I've seen the fine print. It's clearly the 'Moon Surface Plant Cultivation Experimental Center'. You guys gave it a bad name, hahaha!"

Then, the fun came, because there was a good name that caught people's attention. No one called the official name of the dome space, and people took it for granted that this was the vegetable greenhouse.

At most, it is a lunar vegetable greenhouse.

Now there is "no grass growing" here, but Practical Technology has done a post-production AR enhancement effect, allowing the audience to see the beautiful scenery after the vegetation grows.

The height of the dome space is different, so the outermost circle is planted with relatively short plants. The closer to the inner circle, the higher the growth height of the plants. The audience even saw corn and sugar cane.

Of course, the shelf with many layers is also very tall, and the plants planted in it are also relatively low.

Even the astronauts have to test turning the lunar soil into soil.

Although experiments have been done in the "small cabin" before, pure lunar soil cannot grow plants, because they can neither store water nor have nutrients that plants can absorb, and can only be used as a solid substrate for substrate cultivation.

Cultivation of plants on solid substrate is a soilless cultivation method that uses a solid substrate to fix the plant root system and absorb nutrient solution and oxygen through the substrate.

There are many types of substrates, commonly used inorganic substrates include vermiculite, perlite, rock wool, sand, polyurethane, etc.

Organic substrates include peat, rice husk charcoal, bark, etc.

Therefore, substrate cultivation is divided into rock wool cultivation, sand cultivation and so on.

It uses the drip irrigation method to supply nutrient solution. Its advantages are relatively simple equipment, saving labor and effort, saving water and fertilizer, high quality and high efficiency, environmental protection and less pollution, etc. However, it requires a lot of substrate, and the old substrate of continuous cropping is easy to carry pathogens.

Lunar soil can be used as an inorganic substrate.

But now that practical technology has super moss and super nutrient solution, astronauts will try to modify the lunar soil.

After all, these two technologies were originally developed to transform the harsh alien environment, and it is just right for them to be used in certain areas of the earth.

And the dome cabin is their first stop and first battle on the alien planet.

I have to say that when the astronauts saw the vegetation in the house through the smart glasses, their mood immediately improved a lot.

Even if they are virtual.

Of course, it is virtual now, and when they can, they will plant them by themselves!
At that time, it must be very beautiful here.

That's why the vegetation... well, the vegetable shed is built together with the living area.

For astronauts on the moon, this is not only a place to do experiments and grow rations, but also a place to relax.

There is a homely feel to the place when it is filled with plants.

It's just that when they saw that there was an empty space in the center of the dome, they had a little doubt.

Other places are full of plants, why is there an empty space here?
What do you mean?
Is it to let the astronauts stand here and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by plants?

It's also... not bad.

Of course, it is also possible to let the astronauts play freely and focus on whatever they want.

The audience thinks the same way.

It's just that Li Future will be reorganized immediately, and with the same AR technology, he directly made a laurel tree grow there!
According to the myths and legends of the stars, there is an osmanthus tree on the moon, which is five hundred feet high, and the current size is more than 1600 meters.

It was such a big tree that there was a man cutting it down.

This is the story of "Wu Gang's Conquest of Guangxi".

According to legend, Wu Gang was a woodcutter, a native of Xihe, who was obsessed with immortality, but he refused to concentrate on learning. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven was furious and left him in the Moon Palace, asking him to cut down the osmanthus tree in order to obtain immortality.

But every time Wu Gang cuts half of it, the osmanthus tree will heal automatically. Day after day, Wu Gang's work can't be achieved, and he has to keep cutting it down.

The ancient wonderful book "Huainanzi" said: "There are osmanthus trees in the moon", which shows that the imagination of osmanthus trees in the moon palace has long existed, and the myth of Wu Gang cutting osmanthus.

The earliest recorded literature can be found in "Youyang Zazu" in the Tang Dynasty: "It is said in the old days that there are osmanthus and toads in the moon, so it is said in different books that the laurel is five hundred feet high. There is a person who often chops it, and the tree is created and combined. People His surname is Wu, his first name is Gang, he is from Xihe, he has learned Taoism, and he was exiled to cut down trees."

In reality, osmanthus has also been confirmed to have medicinal value, and even "Shuowen Jiezi" explains that osmanthus is "the leader of a hundred medicines".

"Compendium of Materia Medica" quotes the statement of "The Classic", and believes that the medicinal value of osmanthus is: "Cure all kinds of diseases, nourish the spirit, and color, be the first to hire all kinds of medicines, take it for a long time, lighten the body and not grow old, and give birth to brilliance. Meihao is always like a child."

Its flowers can dispel cold and break knots, reduce phlegm and relieve cough, relieve toothache, and abdominal pain due to amenorrhea.

Its fruit can warm the stomach, calm the liver and dispel cold.

Its roots can dispel rheumatism and dispel cold.For rheumatism muscles and bones pain, low back pain, toothache due to kidney deficiency.

Anyway, whether it is practical or mythological, it is well known by Fanxing people, so after it has grown into shape, it is not marked with a name. Many people know it is a class of osmanthus just by looking at the leaves and flowers.

"Good guy, plant a tree directly?"

"Awesome, this special effect is well done!"

"What kind of tree is this? The flowers are quite beautiful."

"Osmanthus?"

"Yes, it's Guishu!"

"Osmanthus...I copied it, it has a good meaning!"

"The osmanthus tree and the moon are absolutely perfect."

"There are also the previous Chang'e Moon Exploration and Yutu Lunar Rover. These names are too good."

"Why don't we just change the name of this place to Moon Palace? I suddenly feel that the name of Outpost is too common."

"I think so too. It's really not a good fit for a bunch of mythological names related to the moon to suddenly appear as an 'outpost'."

"But I remember that the osmanthus tree can grow up to 15 meters. This dome is less than 10 meters. Will it be broken?"

"Silly boy, the astronauts are not Wu Gang. Wu Gang can't chop the laurel, so the astronauts can't prune the laurel tree?"

"That's right, I'm afraid it will grow taller, so why not trim it from time to time?"

When the netizens were exclaiming, Li Future's work was not over yet. When the astronauts looked up at the tree, they suddenly felt that the white ceiling was not so white, and there was more blue...

Wait, when they looked more, they found that this is not the blue sky and white clouds? !

"Wow!!"

"Ohhhhh!!"

"Blue sky! White clouds! Green trees!"

"So beautiful!"

"Is this still a gray moon? This is the Earth!"

"If growing plants felt like home before, now it is!"

In this kind of exclamation, this live broadcast is more than half completed, and then the two industrial cabins are introduced casually and it is over.

Most people are paying attention to the dome cabin, but not to the two industrial cabins.

In fact, this is also in Li Future's calculations.

Those two cabins are very important. One is a completely industrial manufacturing area, which also doubles as a vehicle maintenance area. There is a large garage in it, where there is a pressurized lunar rover, which can extend the range of movement.

At the same time, parts made there can be used to maintain outposts and assemble small lunar rovers.

The other cabin is the smelting area. There is a smart mining vehicle in the garage, and the mined ore can be smelted.

But its function is more than that, part of its function is to smelt helium 3!

This is great material to move on to the next stage.
